Composed chiefly of the legal files of the cases in which Jerry Cohen represented César Chávez and the United Farm Workers of America. It also includes contracts, collective bargaining agreements, news clippings, and material about violence against farm workers, such as the court hearings of Lydia Villareal's case, who was represented by Jerry Cohen after being retaliated for denouncing growers who kept his workers living in caves.

This series documents the period of transition initiated by Jerry Cohen's resignation from the Legal Department of the United Farm Workers, in 1979. It consists of correspondence, notes, legal documents, and journals kept by Cohen during his tenure as General Counsel.

Contains case files and news clippings about the disputes between the United Farm Workers and the Agricultural Labor Relations Board of California. It also documents the repercussion of César Chávez's death in 1993.

Is composed of newspaper articles written by Jerry Cohen, correspondence, manuscripts, and lists of the Jacques Levy Research Collection on César Chávez deposited at Yale University, and of UFW documents housed by Wayne State University (Mich.). It also includes a petition to First Lady Hillary Clinton in favor of the American Health Security Act (1993).
